I'm looking to see if I can get some roses shipped early to me. The two I experimented with last year by planting in mid November wintered just hunky-dory and bloomed all summer! Of course, I babied them by putting the cutoff bucket around the 6" of cane I left above ground, and then filled the buckets with more mulch so they were 100% covered all winter! And we didn't have that bad of a winter, hardly any snow. The snow I got yesterday is about half-melted already & the rest will be gone by this weekend with weather in the 60s all weekend. *sigh* I just wish that the weather would decide what season it wants to be!! Halloween's supposed to be back in the 60s but another snow storm comes through on Wednesday. Go figure.
